## What is ANOHIKARA?

Have you ever wondered, "How many days have passed since I started dating that person?"
You probably didn't ask the other person, did you? That may have been the reason for the fight.

Think back to "that day" that you are interested in. Was it the day you met someone important? The day you went on your first trip abroad? The day you finished reading a book that shocked you so much that it changed your outlook on life? The day you made a big mistake that changed you. Or...

When is "that day" that is important to you? How much time has passed since that day... until this moment now?

"ANOHIKARA" is an app that allows you to check how much time has passed since such an important "that day" for you, with simple operation and a sophisticated and beautiful design.


* Regarding data management for "ANOHIKARA" (Please read this before using)

In order to protect personal information, this app has a policy of not acquiring any personal data from customers (we do not know any information about the customer themselves or the contents of the customer's registration).

As a result, when a problem occurs with your data due to various factors such as OS upgrades, model changes, your device or settings, or installed apps, you will not be able to view your data, so it may be difficult to identify the cause and reliably recover your data.

Therefore, we ask that you use this app only as an app to calculate the elapsed time from a certain date (not an app intended for data storage), and that you manage the original data yourself in a secure manner.

細かい出来事を入れてあったので使えなくなりショックでした💦　どうしてですか？今までの出来事がすべて消えてしまいました　覚えていないし記録にも残していないので困っています😭はぁーどうしよう😩

### 1/5 — 使いにくくなった

*2025-06-14, version 6.1.0*

以前は広告も少なく、あってもひつこく無かったのが、今はうるさい。表示も秒になって使えない。

### 4/5 — 重宝していました。

*2025-06-10, version 6.1.0*

何年、何ヶ月、何時間、何分、何秒、と表示してくれるので見ていても楽しかったですし、とても重宝してました。が…なぜか立ち上げですぐに落ちてしまい開けなくなりました…かなりショックです。

2025年まさかの4年越しにアプリ復活するなんて！消さなくて良かった（泣）

### 5/5 — 好きです

*2025-06-01, version 6.1.0*

時々開いて、時の経過に感動しています🥺

### 1/5 — 日付設定が出来ないか

*2025-05-06, version 6.0.0*

何年にしても令和になる。
使えません

### 5/5 — ムカついて消しかけたけど…

*2025-01-03, version 5.0.7*

➖最新➖やっぱりお世話になってたから中々消すまでは出来なくって…でも皆とのレビューがやっと代表さんに声が届いてデータ戻ってきたよー皆ーーー！自分と同じく消さなかった人は万歳！！…ただいつ何が起こるか分からないから頼りすぎない事、別にもきちんと記録しておく事、かなーり勉強になった。
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
いつもこのアプリで記念日管理してました。 アプリを開いたら落ちて開けなかったのでアプデして再度開いてみると、全データが消えてしまいました…。前のピンク背景から白になり…何もデータ残って無いです。 データ戻ってきますでしょうか？様々な記念日管理をこちらにお任せしていたのでショック大です。早急に復旧を願います…宜しくお願い致します。 ➖追記①➖ 更にアップデートしましたところ、「旧データを読み込めませんでした。」と出ました。データも戻ってきてません。もう絶望的です。データ消えずに戻ってくるんじゃなかったんですか…？ ➖追記②(只今最新)➖更にアップデート(データ取り戻しを期待)した所、「旧データ読み込み」の記載部分が「月額課金」になってる？！はぁあ？！ふざけるのもいい加減にしてください。頭に来ました。もうこのアプリは削除予定です。断然前のピンクの背景画面の頃が使い勝手抜群でしたよ。本当に残念なアプリとなりましたよ、代表さん。かなり残念です！！

### 1/5 — アプデで、旧データ復旧しました！！

*2024-12-25, version 5.0.7*

2025.12.25 諦めていた旧データが戻りました。
 アプリを削除せず、時々開いてはガックリしてましたが、本当に嬉しいです。
ありがとうございます！！
今回のことを教訓に、自分でもデータを保存して万全の対策を講じる様に致します。
また、コツコツ大事な記録を綴っていく気になりました。

以下、過去レビュー
記念日や覚え書きの様な、記録を沢山入力していますが、アプリ起動せず、一瞬表示されすぐ落ちます。 バックアップ等とって無いので困っています。 確認したい事が有るのですが、見れません。 改善お願いします。 2024.9 待望のアップデート有難うございます！！ けれど、以前のデータが無くなってます。 iCloudバックアップの復元をしても戻らず、ショックです。 2024.10 他のレビューを見て、旧データの復旧対応されたとの事で、アップデートしましたが、データ復元出来ませんでした。個々の原因調査は困難な様ですので、もう諦めるしか無いですね。 大事なデータはひとつのアプリだけでなく、どこかに保存しておく事を強くお勧めします。

### 1/5 — いつ内容が消えるかわからないアプリ

*2024-10-29, version 5.0.5*

前の機能は高評価としてましたが、いつのまにかシンプル設定になって広告が長くなり、有料オプションがあり、中身はバグだらけ。品質を落としてお金を取る残念な仕様アプリになりました。とりあえずこれでいい、の満足感も今はないですね。アンインストールです。
